futuristic cars



The headlights and tail lights are made ​​of transparent tubes that make up the LED units. The interior features sports seats integrated into the structure of the cabin.

Secondly we have the Audi Calamaro. This design was created by a Hungarian student for thecompetition organized by the Porsche subsidiary in Hungary.

The futuristic concept is a mixture of a boat and a jet ski whose interior is equipped with the latest technology that our imagination can recreate.

You probably will not see this concept as part of the line of any reputable manufacturer in 50 years, however this type of design allows us to dream.

A tree grows in kenya

No one was more surprised on Friday to hear from the Norwegian Nobel Committee than Wangari Maathai, Kenya's assistant minister for the environment. She was holding a meeting with her constituents near Mt. Kenya when she got the news that she had just become the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize for her life-long commitment to the environment, democracy and human rights. Maathai celebrated by planting a tree.
In recognizing Maathai, the Nobel Committee is recognizing that Africa has been ignored for too long, and that the time had come to applaud the invaluable contribution of African women to their societies. Maathai, 64, has been Kenya's leading environmentalist for almost 30 years. She started the Green Belt Movement--a landmark environmental and human rights organization in Africa that has helped plant an estimated 30 million trees in a country now facing desertification, with only 2 percent forest cover remaining. While researching women's issues in the 1970s, Maathai found important links to the environment: malnutrition and lack of water, firewood and cash crops.
"I don't see a distinction between environmentalism and feminism," she said in an interview at the Fairview Hotel in Nairobi shortly after accepting her award. "It's difficult for me to differentiate whether I'm campaigning as a woman or just as a human being trying to ensure everyone gets their rights." Maathai's plant-a-tree movement was the spark that ignited a feminist movement throughout Africa, giving women a sense of accomplishment and self worth that wasn't previously part of the culture.

OWL

Where do they live?
The Barn and Short-Eared owls live in the southen states from the east coast to the west coast, and also in Mexico. Their nests are in trees, barns and caves. The Flammulated, Northern Pygmy, Western-Screech and Whiskered-Screech owls live in the western U.S. states, and as far north as the southern part of Canada, and as far south as Mexico.
    
What do they live?
Many owls feed mainly on furry animals such as mice, rats, moles, squirrels, rabbits, and even skunks.  They often swallow the smaller animals whole.

Owls also eat insects, worms,  spiders, frogs, lizards, and small birds. Owls can kill animals as large as they are or even larger.
In the world of the hunter...owls eat extremely well!!
The favorite food of North American owls are insects and rodents.
Since owls swallow prey whole, what it cannot digest, such as teeth, claws, and fur, it stores in its gizzard. (part of the owl's stomach)  Strong muscles roll the undigested pieces into small balls, called pellets.  The owl coughs this up.

Why might it be important to protect their habitats?

is important that we maintain the species we currently have in those territories
